(The
Best Years in Life)
Naturopaths and other natural health
authorities have been telling us for
years that coconut oil can not only slow
Alzheimer’s, it can also stop it and in
many instances even reverse it. Now,
recent science and real life experiences
have confirmed what they have told us.
With organic coconut oil, you may be
able to forget Alzheimer’s and it may no
longer be a death sentence!

Alzheimer’s and dementia have been
growing at alarming rates thanks to our
aging population, widespread use of
statin drugs and the continued
inundation of toxins in our food, air
and water. It is estimated that current
figure of 5 million plus people with
Alzheimer’s in the U.S. will triple by
2050. Despite optimistic announcements
of advances, mainstream medicine
continues to be thwarted at actually
finding a cure or reversing Alzheimer’s
and dementia. The good news, however, is
that nature has had an answer all along:
coconut oil.

If we look at Alzheimer’s disease as a
“type 3″ diabetes and an insulin
resistance problem, coconut oil makes a
lot of sense. Coconut oil is believed to
encourage the body to produce organic
matter to provide an energy source for
brain cells and is in fact a rich source
of ketone energy, an alternate form of
energy to the brain. In fact,
pharmaceutical companies are currently
trying to develop drugs that mimic the
same “ketonic” effect that can be
achieved via coconut oil and a high-fat
diet.

What science is has found

In an “in vitro” (petri dish) study
titled “Coconut Oil Attenuates the
Effects of Amyloid-β on Cortical Neurons
In Vitro” published recently in the
Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease,
researchers found that coconut oil may
alleviate and/or regress cognitive
deficits associated with aging and
neurodegenerative diseases such as
Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s.

According to the researchers, “The
rationale for using coconut oil as a
potential AD [Alzheimer’s Disease]
therapy is related to the possibility
that it could be metabolized to ketone
bodies that would provide an alternative
energy source for neurons, and thus
compensate for mitochondrial
dysfunction.”

The researchers found that coconut oil
protected against amyloid plaque buildup
and concluded that “Considering that the
medium chain triglyceride found in
coconut known as caprylic acid does
cross the blood-brain barrier, and has
recently been found to have
anti-convulsant, in addition to,
ketogenic effects, coconut oil likely
does have a neuroprotective effect.”

An “in vivo” (in the actual body) human
study found that brain function was
improved after only one dose and study
participants reported significant
improvements in Alzheimer’s disease
after 45 and 90 days of treatment with
medium chain triglycerides from coconut
oil.

In another study, Canadian researcher
Stephen Cunnane used PET scans to
determine that ketones are indeed a
possible alternative brain fuel.

Real life experiences

Though science does not give as much
credence to anecdotal evidence,
“observation” is a key component of the
scientific process, and when it comes to
coconut oil the evidence that has been
observed is so overwhelming it simply
cannot be ignored. Examples include:

- In one of the first widely reported
successes with coconut oil, Dr. Mary
Newport, MD, dramatically reversed her
husband’s symptoms of Alzheimer’s
disease after just two weeks of adding
coconut oil to his diet.

- In 2007, a man in England suddenly
quickly deteriorated over a one year
period to the point that he could barely
do anything for himself and he no longer
recognized his own daughter. After his
son watched the YouTube video of Dr.
Mary Newport’s success with her husband,
they decided to try their father on six
tablespoons a day.

“Within a month his mood completely
changed,” his daughter reported. “He
became calmer and relaxed. He started
shaving, then bathing on his own. Then
one day he gave me a hug and said my
name.”

- Ian Blair Hamilton and his wife,
medical researcher Cassie Bond, made a
YouTube video about how coconut oil
quickly gave Ian his brain back and
reversed his depression after he had
begun a downward spiral of Alzheimer’s.

In other testimonials and reports:

• A woman with end-stage Alzheimer’s saw
improvement in one week after beginning
to take coconut oil.
• Coconut oil lifted the brain fog and
stopped memory loss for a 65 year old
woman.
• Coconut oil reversed dementia in a 100
year old woman
• Coconut oil reversed the effects of
Alzheimer’s in a 50 year old woman

And those are just a tiny handful of the
literally thousands of testimonials and
anecdotal coconut oil success reports.

The Bruce Fife “Alzheimer’s Battle Plan”

Naturopathic Doctor Bruce Fife developed
an extremely effective multi-part battle
plan for fighting and conquering
Alzheimer’s and dementia which he
outlined in his book “Stop Alzheimer’s
Now”. The first step in the Alzheimer’s
Battle Plan is to raise ketone levels by
consuming at least 5 tablespoons (74 ml)
of coconut oil every day. Fife
recommends that the oil should be taken
with food and either used in food
preparation or taken separately by the
spoonful like a dietary supplement. Two
tablespoons of coconut oil should always
be consumed in the morning at breakfast
when ketone levels are at their lowest.
The remaining 3 or more tablespoons can
be divided up between lunch and dinner
in any manner desired.

• Fish – Eat one or two 4-ounce servings
of fish per week or take 1 gram of krill
oil for essential fatty acids.

• Vitamin D – Get daily sun exposure as
much as possible to maintain proper
vitamin D levels. During the winter when
sun exposure is reduced, or when you are
unable to get daily sunshine, consume 1
tablespoon of cod liver oil daily or
take a vitamin D3 supplement which
provides 2,000-5,000 IU/day.

In an interview on The Best Years in
Life Radio Show, Naturopathic PhD and MD
Ken O’Neal reported that people he has
consulted with who have followed
recommendations built around the Fife
battle plan are having great success.
One of the first people to begin
following the plan was a middle-aged man
whose condition had deteriorated to the
point that he was unable to log on to
his beloved internet, much less blog and
communicate intelligibly.

Once he began following the
recommendations for coconut oil and
other items, his improvement was almost
immediate and today he is back online
happily blogging and typing away.

Other items which may help treat and
reverse Alzheimer’s

Ashwaganda

Animal studies have shown very promising
results for Ashwaganda when it comes to
Alzheimer’s and cognitive impairment. As
reported by Life Extension Foundation (LEF),
in one rodent study, group of rats with
the condition were administered a
placebo or ashwagandha root for 30 days.
After 20 days, the mice receiving the
ashwagandha started exhibiting improved
cognitive function.

They were able to navigate through maze
tests from which they had difficulty
prior to supplementation, demonstrating
an improvement in spatial memory and
learning. The rats also experienced a
reduction in amyloid plaque in various
parts of the brain including the cortex
and the hippocampus (the area in which
memories are stored).

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

In a rodent study conducted in 2008 at
the University of California, Irvine,
mice with the rodent equivalent of
Alzheimer’s were given high doses of
niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and it was 100%
effective at restoring cognitive
function. A current human study is
underway. Niacinimide is considered to
be one of the safest of all supplemental
vitamins and minerals and high doses are
well tolerated.

Colloidal Gold

Colloidal gold is revered for its
abilities to lift brain fog and enhance
memory, mood and focus. Furthermore, in
the study “Effect of Colloidal Metallic
Gold on Cognitive Functions: A Pilot
Study” published in the “Journal of
Frontier Sciences”, subjects scored a
whopping average increase of 24 points
on standardized IQ tests after being
given colloidal gold daily for four
months.

BDNF

Researchers at the University of
California, San Diego provided
ground-breaking proof that a natural
protein called BDNF (brain-derived
neurotrophic factor) can prevent and
even reverse Alzheimer’s. BDNF, which is
now available in supplement form, can be
increased by exercise and a healthy
diet. Prebiotics and large amounts of
vitamin A are also said to increased
natural production of BDNF.
